Last night the Marshall Artists Series wrapped up its latest presentation, Teddy Roosevelt and the Treasure of Ursa Major (the photos by Mark Webb are from the show), and it's just one of five plays being presented this week.
It's always hard to figure - there are less than 52 community theatre shows every year, yet they often show up on the same weekend - it's not unusual for two or three shows to be running in the same town on the same night in any given month.
Since there are only so many theatre-goers, you'd think the local groups would make more of an effort to avoid running on the same weekend - but there are lots of reasons why this sort of thing happens. Dealing with scheduling conflicts, avoiding things like holidays, major sporting events and other activities narrows down the choices. And perhaps it's wrong to complain about having too many shows to choose from. It sure beats the alternative!
